Honestly, I installed it on my 2nd laptop and workstation because I really wanted the AUR, but got tired of Arch unstable update process 15 years ago and left Linux for personal use for MacOS. It still has everything I want on my main laptop, home brew and a terminal with tmux.

It just works and I just couldn't be arsed reinstalling, but yeah, if I would, I would just use Arch again now.

Currently I'm in a rediscovery / re-appreciation phase so:

Sinead O'Conner - The lion and the Cobra

The Doors - Morrison Hotel

Probably all time favourite, although it fades in and out of rotation:

Dream Theater - Metropolis pt2

Funny enough, its also ruined hiring. I can't even begin to explain the amount of bullshit CVs I'm getting.

Not to mention the idiots thinking we don't notice the huge delay in answering during remote interviews.

We also have a pretty basic programming assignment and we're clear and upfront about the fact that you can use AI to make it, as long as works and you can explain the decisions. But guess what?

I can answer the 2nd, but also curious about the first.

HIV transmits easiest through blood, so if two people both bleed during intercourse, that gives a much higher transmission rate.

Same reason why it has a higher transmission rate among gay men.

Edit: did some extra research, its not just because of blood, also other fluids make transmission easier through thin rectal tissue. So the gayen part doesn't really apply

Wow, I paid €118 for it in 2022, but then stopped using it around 2024 or early 2025 when it started to enshittify.

In general though, I think lifetime subscriptions for services that cost a company money are a shitty business model. Its like a pyramid scheme.

Part of the problem here in the Netherlands is that kids just use their laptops at school to access the same social media and chat apps.

They block it on the school WiFi, but kids either just tether their phones, hidden in backpacks or use VPNs, etc.

That being said, as the parent of a teenager, I still strongly support the ban.

Watch how there's a clear hierarchy, some get to go first, while others have to wait their turn

Dont come too close though, buses, with their inherent weight can be the most dangerous creature in the automotive kingdom. They dont often attack, but once enraged, their rampage is nearly unstoppable.

One addition, in the past I've been forced to use Windows at previous jobs, but once we got WSL, that wasn't too much of a pain either.

And once upon a time I worked at HP and we were allowed to run whatever we wanted on our workstations, but that was before laptops were commonplace for my kind of work.
